Can you perhaps help ping the SC list? Look what Georgia is doing...!

Sucking off Americans. This is a disgrace. Why want the FEDS protect us from Mexico and all these illegals continuing to SUCK off this nation????????

This is nothing more than a continued attempt by DC to turn America into a third world country. The Old Soviet Union gunned down their middle class...the same is happening here except it's a bit more subtle.

[TheBattman]

you know - as much as I hate the government stealing money from working folks, I don't really have a problem with taxing the illegals - except that if it becomes a significant revenue sream, the politicians will have even more reason to KEEP the illegals here...

[bboop]

What a great idea.

[zerosix]

Are you kidding, Mexico needs that 20 Billion that illegals send back home while the U.S. Taxpayers get sucker punched into providing all sorts of health, education, housing, food, jail space, etc., to those who are sending $$$$$ in the Billions to prop up Vicente Fox's pitiful economy.

[1rudeboy]

Good plan, if one could separate between legals and illegals.

[kerryusama04]

How the f#$% was 20 billion paid out to illegals and not reported?

If you can tax them, you can find them. Confiscate the money and send them back to Mexico.

One can only hope that this continuing one-note song of racist accusation isn't lost on the ears of the general public as the propaganda that it is. Mexico, land of "White is Right while Brown is kept down", is in all actuality the last country that should be granted any credibility when criticizing American policies.

Mexicans aren't even really a race - they were designated as one (along with all other Latin Americans) through Democrat-supported lobbying after LULAC and La Raza got jealous of the NAACP's successes during the mid-1960s. One can't have too many "oppressed minorities" to defend...even if they have to be made up.

It's wrong to tax the money illegals accumulate. It should be confiscated.

[SC Swamp Fox]

A bill in Georgia's state legislature would force anyone unable to prove their legal status to pay tax on their wire transfers.

South Carolina Ping

Add me to the list. | Remove me from the list.

[brytlea]

It doesn't tax everyone. It taxes people who send money out of the country. And, where is your proof it won't do any good?

That's a great idea. Maybe that will make coming here and getting paid under the table not quite so lucrative.

And .. how about them having to declare where they got the money from ..?? That might help stop the hiring of illegals.

[Mamzelle]

Thanks. I don't suppose you know who does the Tenn and Bama lists?

[SC Swamp Fox]

I checked the List of Ping Lists thread, they don't appear to have one.

[Brian Allen]

<< ... Mexicans living in the United States sent home about $20 billion to their families last year .... >>

And the fact that sum escapes lottery-winner-styled feral-IRS witholding tax is but another stick on the arthritic criminal-alien-invasion camel's back.

[Mamzelle]

Thanks for that link--very useful.

migrants would simply ship money home by less secure means.

Huh, huh. We'll just tax those less secure means, too.
